Although, I don't feel comfortable yet in this matter, this is the class that I liked the most because I have found that I could apply it to communicate with my colleagues at school as well as district wide.
It took me a long time to get used to wikis, and I'm still learning. I found that once I starting a using a wiki for my personal use, it was easier to figure out how I could use a wiki professionally. This is the wiki that I am currently working on: http://1to1english.pbwiki.com/
I am so excited. Not only did you learn about wikis, you are actually planning to use one professionally. That is fantastic. My hope is that as teachers become familiar with wikis by using them to collaborate, they will then see the ways that they can be used with students Then it won't be long before wikis are a Web 2.0 tool that students are using to collaborate at school. You are helping to make that hope a reality. Thanks.
I like the idea of using wikis in school. The kids learn so much more when they communicate and collaborate. I think I would make mine require logins, and I would get some "experts" to participate. If my students know that a college professor will be reading through their Volcano wiki, for example, I believe that it would provide an authentic environment and motivation to make sure their subject matter is accurate and their use of written communication is appropriate/correct.
